ASSET is a short stress-screening questionnaire available either in a paper and pencil or electronic format. Designed by Robertson Cooper Ltd, it is for use in corporate risk assessment, stress audit work and individual stress profiling. Using ASSET will allow your organisation:
- To adhere to HSE guidelines by conducting a valid and reliable stress risk assessment.
- Identify stress ‘hot spots’ that require an urgent concentration of effort and resource.
- Benchmark your organisation’s data against others drawn from both public and private sectors.
The online version allows all survey participants to complete their questionnaire via an internet link sent directly to their specified email address. In addition, the online version has powerful reporting and analysis software package.
Pearn Kandola can provide the necessary consultancy to support the use of ASSET, however, you can also be trained in the administration and interpretation of ASSET so you can take the skill in house.
ASSET can be used as an individual assessment and development tool. The ASSET Work Well report highlights how well a person is coping with the work pressures they face and the impact this is having on their commitment to the organisation and their health.
Individual employees can either receive the ASSET Work Well Report as part of a targeted support and development initiative or as part of a full organisational ASSET audit.
The ASSET Work Well Report can help staff to understand the impact that certain sources of pressure can have on them. It can provide the basis for a constructive discussion about how to cope with workplace stress more effectively. Ultimately, it is the first step in helping staff to understand their stress situation and then take control of it.
Many organisations also find that the ASSET Work Well Report is a valuable return to work aid. Using the report a short time after an employee returns to work after an illness can highlight how well the support mechanisms are working and help to prevent subsequent repeat absence.
